Shiva and Shakti: Balancing Masculine and Feminine Energies
If you’re new to meditation, yoga, or Tantra, you may have heard the names, Shiva and Shakti. But, what or who are Shiva and Shakti?

Lord Shiva and Goddesses Shakti are considered to be two unique yet intertwined and interconnected forms of masculine and feminine energy. Similar to
What is Shakti Energy? A Guide to the Divine Feminine Energy
If you are exploring the world of Yoga, you may have come across the term Shakti energy. While many people see Yoga as a form of exercise, it actually encompasses much more than that. Yoga and energy healing are full of concepts that might be new to you. One of the most intriguing concepts is Shakti energy. But what is Shakti energy? Let’s start by discussing Shakti.

The Shakti Goddess Explained
If you’re working on discovering your spiritual identity and beliefs, you might have stumbled upon the term Shakti, also known as the Shakti Goddess.

So, what is Sex Therapy anyway
This is a question I get asked A LOT. Especially from friends and people who hear that sex therapy is a thing and not just a thing like you see in the movies, but an actual career.

Since most people engage in sex to some extent (even not engaging in
Honoring Winter
Winter. The cold. The darkness. For some, it marks a dismal time of year and for others, it offers remembrance of light in the form of celebration. But winter is longer than the celebratory holidays and can be a struggle for many. It can be easy to forget that we are a part of this Earth. This planet that spins and cycles.
